"I was just feeling honored and grateful," Fulton told the outlet about receiving the handwritten letter. "Amazed and inspired at the work of Mr. Farrer."

Another former student, DJ Anardi, got the letter from his past self about a month ago. It read "Hey you good-looking guy, how is your life?" according to National Post. Anardi's letter talked about a crush he had at the time on the woman who is now his wife.

"I think our society now is a society of non-commitment," Farrer told the outlet. "We say we’re going to do something, whether it’s in a marriage, or with our kids or maybe even with our organizations we join, and some little thing ticks us off and we think 'Enough of that, I’m walking out' … I think it’s important to have a sense of commitment, and maybe in a minor way, the kids see I value that."
